    Let me tell you, this here is REAL AUTHENTIC Italian on LIC’s waterfront. This place is inviting and airy. Do not miss this opportunity to have something is celebratory of how food should be properly made and paired (yes! The menus actually show the proper pairing of wines too) . Ordered the Spaghetti with Bottarga (Al dente and just mouth watering rich) and got the Capricciosa Pizza (Excellent Real Napolitana with a proper Chef) Bravi!!!!!!

    Gorgeous setting. We had river views in summer there are outside tables. A stylish restaurant with a central bar area. The food was fast and delicious and had a great vegetarian selection. About 5mins walk from York Street. Really can’t recommend this place enough.

    I made an reservation and arrived about 15 minutes early which allowed us to enjoy some time at the bar. The bar staff were absolutely amazing! Unfortunately, we waited 43 minutes past our scheduled time before I mentioned to the bartender that no one had come to seat us. The young lady who checked us in seemed a bit flustered at first but eventually realized she hadn’t come to get us when the table was ready. After being seated, it took a while for someone to come over for our drink orders. Once we finally got our drinks, there was another wait to place our food order. The food was fantastic, but the service needs improvement—particularly with a more reliable hostess and servers. The bar staff are doing a great job, but they can’t handle everything on their own. Overall, despite these few hiccups, our experience was fantastic, and I would definitely return!
